Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Services at DIANI BEACH HOSPITAL

At DIANI BEACH HOSPITAL, we provide world-class care in our Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for patients with life-threatening conditions that require constant, intensive monitoring and advanced treatment. Our ICU is equipped with cutting-edge medical technology and staffed by a dedicated team of experienced doctors, nurses, and specialists who provide 24/7 care to ensure the best possible outcomes for critically ill patients.

Our ICU is designed to manage complex medical cases, including patients recovering from major surgeries, severe infections, heart conditions, trauma, respiratory failure, and other critical health concerns. We are committed to delivering compassionate, comprehensive care in a supportive and safe environment.

Our ICU Services Include

  • Mechanical Ventilation: For patients who have difficulty breathing or are unable to breathe on their own, our ICU offers mechanical ventilation to assist with respiratory function.
  • Non-invasive Ventilation (CPAP/BiPAP): For patients with conditions such as sleep apnea or respiratory distress, we provide non-invasive breathing support to ensure proper oxygen levels.
  • Continuous ECG Monitoring: We monitor heart rhythm and vital signs closely for patients with heart conditions, arrhythmias, or following heart surgery.
  • Hemodynamic Monitoring: We measure blood pressure and other indicators to assess heart function and circulation, ensuring that vital organs are receiving adequate blood flow.

Post-Operative Recovery: For patients who have undergone complex or major surgeries, including cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, and trauma surgery, the ICU provides specialized care to ensure a safe recovery and address any complications.

 

  • Sepsis Care: The ICU team manages sepsis—a life-threatening response to infection—by administering antibiotics, fluids, and other interventions to stabilize the patient's condition.
  • Infection Control: We employ strict infection control protocols to prevent the spread of infections and ensure that critically ill patients receive optimal care.
  • Critical Injury Management: For patients involved in serious accidents, trauma, or falls, our ICU provides immediate care to stabilize and monitor the patient's condition.
  • Neurological Monitoring: For traumatic brain injuries, strokes, and spinal injuries, we offer specialized neurological assessments and treatments.

Dialysis: We offer renal support for patients who are experiencing kidney failure or other renal complications.

  • Specialist Consultations: Our ICU team works closely with specialists in cardiology, neurology, pulmonology, infectious diseases, and other fields to ensure comprehensive care for each patient.

The ICU to its credit till date has helped several lives over the course of the past decade or so.  We routinely manage heart attacks (including thrombolysis), strokes, endocrine and metabolic emergencies, drowning cases to name a few.  The ICU has been acclaimed by many to be the best in the South Coast of Kenya and caters to a large number of residents and tourists alike.
